Class begins Aug. 19.

JUNE 20, 2013 -- Do you care for an infant or toddler with special needs? Do you
want to learn strategies, expand your strengths, and explore your concerns? If so,
a fall 2013 class being offered by Allan Hancock College’s early childhood studies
program can offer you the information you need to enhance the experience of child
care providers, families and children.

Infant Intervention (ECS 113, CRN 21382) offers an introductory overview for families and caregivers who
work with infants and toddlers at risk for special needs. Students will examine risk
factors, learn how to access community resources, discuss strategies for assisting
families, and explore using typical play to facilitate development for children with
special needs. This class will assist you with services and strategies for children
enrolled in California’s Early Start program. This three-unit class will be offered
at the Santa Maria campus Mondays at 2:15 p.m. beginning Aug. 19.
